Changing Adobe Interactive Form Layout When Archiving

We are using the adobe interactive forms (adobe liveCycle designer) to create forms for outgoing paper checks. Because of security risks with reprinting checks, it is necessary to change the output of the checks when they are archived (writing 'VOID' over the check), while the form created in the print spool remains unchanged. Is there a way to create dynamic fields on the interactive form based on when the form is being archived? We are using the archiveLink functionality with an external optical storage app. I know there is the possibilty to run the printing and the archiving process separately, using different form layouts, however, reconciliation becomes and issue and I would like to run both printing and archiving together in the same mass activity.

Hi Brian,
I have a requirement where I just need to Archive Adobe form in External repository.
Since you are using the archiveLink functionality with an external optical storage app
Can you please help me how you did?? What configurations need to be maintained for this?
I am new to this. I did some Rnd on it and found that it can be achieved using HRFORM_HRF02 Business Add-In in the SET_ARCHIVE_INDEX method.
But I have no clue how to do it?
Can you please help me?

Adobe Interactive Forms without Web Dynpro and ACF???

Hi All, we would like to build an interactive forms solution based on the Adobe software integrated into WAS. However, the customer requires a true thin client application with no additional installation on the client. Integrating Adobe Interactive Forms into Web DynPro however requires the Active Component Framework (ACF) to be installed since these forms are integrated into the page within an ActiveX container.
So the question is whether there is a way to use Adobe Interactive forms including the Adobe Documents Service within WAS but without(!) using Web Dynpro?(the full blown Adobe LifCycle Forms solution is not an option). Any suggestions on this are highly appreciated!
Tanks!

Hello everyone,
I would like to add a couple of points from the SAP Product Management perspective.
Adobe has a number of stand-alone products that are the foundation for what SAP can now offer thanks to our partnership. This is exactly why we decided on a partnership that provides us with established technology, which is now integrated.
It is true that Web Dynpro is the main SAP way of integrating the interactive functions of the solution. We made this decision consciously, because the development and run-time environments provide very useful features that reduce the need for manual coding, such as the possibility of passing the data back to the backend using the Web Dynpro context. The automatism we offer here needs to be implemented from scratch with any other solution, including the Adobe stand-alone one.
While it is true that the ACF constitutes a certain limitation for the reasons you mention, Adobe will remedy this in 2005. The Reader/Web Dynpro integration will be available later this year for multiple platforms (OS, browsers) and will not require ACF anymore.
If you do not want to use a full-blown Web Dynpro application for your concrete scenario, consider developing an application that provides nothing but the interactive PDF form to the end user, to be filled in using the stand-alone Reader. The submit of the form data (with or without the PDF itself) could then happen via HTTP or e-mail.
Kind regards,

How to invoke HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form

Hi all,
I am using Adobe Livecycle Designer stand-alone (without Netweaver integration), currently a trial 8.2 version.
I need to invoke an HTTP Web Service (non-SOAP) in an Adobe Interactive Form. The Net.HTTP method does not work due to security reasons. The error message I get is:
(german)
" NotAllowedError: Sicherheitseinstellungen verhindern den Zugriff auf diese Eigenschaft oder Methode.
Net.HTTP.request:28:XFA:form1[0]:mysubform[0]:Region[0]:change"
In english this translates to: "Security settings prohibit the call of this property or method.
And indeed the "Javascript for Acrobat API reference" includes the following note:
"Note:This method can only be made outside the context of a document (for example, in a folder level JavaScript)."
So this method seems to be excluded from use in an Adobe document, e. g. in an interactive form. But why is it then listed at all? Is there a way to call HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form by somehow branching out the call outside the document itself? Of course I do not want to call a SOAP service which then calls the HTTP Web Service
Is there any other way to invoke HTTP Web Services in an Adobe Interactive Form?
Thanks a lot for your response!
Regards
Christoph

Hi,
back again, had to handle other issues, sorry.
Just to get a little more concrete. The condition depends on the context node attributes. So if an attribute is initial, it's field should not been shown, if it's not initial, it should ne shown. There are 6 context attributes and therefore 6 fields in the form. How can I get the attributes' value?
And can I put them into the same subform or do I have to create 7 (6 conditions + blank-condition) subforms?
I put the fields (textfield and context node value) that should be shown depending on conditions in a subform. So how can I adress this subform?
I'm not so familiar with JavaScript, so please help me. I need something like:
if (context_node_attribute X is initial) {
subform_1.presence = "hidden" ;
I tried it with
if ( ARB_STUNDEN.rawValue != null) {
Beratungsstunden.presence = "hidden" ;
but it didn't work....
Thanks,

Adobe Interactive Forms complaining that document has changed

Hi,
We are trying to run an Adobe interactive form in a MS IE browser but when running the form we receive a message from Adobe... and I'll try to translate it from Dutch to English... "This document contains a number of priviledges for switching on special functions in Adobe reader. The document has been changed since it was last made and the priviledges are no longer active. Contact the author of the original document."
For those few dutch speakers the message says "Dit document bevatte bepaalde rechten voor het inschakelen van speciale functies in Adobe Reader. Het document is gewijzigd sinds het is gemaakt en deze rechten zijn niet meer geldig. Neem contact op met de auteur van de oorspronkelijke versie van het document".
After accepting the message the form is displayed but it is not possible to enter anything into the form - it is read only.
We are completely lost as to why we receive this message. What document is it taking about? How can the document change? Can anyone explain?
Incidently we were using the recommended versions of MS IE, the SAP AG activeX component SP15 and Adobe 7.0.1. We upgraded to SP16 and Adobe 7.0.7 but it has not made any difference. We have followed the configuration instructions so that the browser can run ActiveX components etc.
Needless to say this works with no problems in a development environment, but the problems we experience above are in a production environment running Citrix Metaframe and where users have managed profiles. We thought it may be a problem with Windows policies, but the messages come from Adobe, not Windows.
Help,
Jonathan.

Jonathan
Did you solve this isssue ?. I am facing the same issue while accessing the Form via Citrix !
Thanks

Web Service is not triggering using Adobe Interactive Form

Hello Experts,
I know this is a common topic now , but the problem I am facing, no thread help me to solve that.
Problem:--
My requirement is to create an adobe form , in which
-> an input field is needed,and some description is needed.
I used button to trigger my webservice.
Here , I want to clear that , I have made a proper WEB SERVICE using Remote Enabled FM.
My web service is working fine as I have tested from WS NAVIGATOR(Note: http://<source>:<port>/wsnavigator).
In Adobe Form (SFP), I have made a new Data connection using WebService WSDL.
All Request and Response parameters are availabe in Data View palletes of Form.
Button that is available from data connection is used.
I have used Button as an Execute button , under execute tab in connection , I had given DATA CONNECTION name .
But above things not worked so ,
I also tried with Regular Button , and under click written Javascript/FormCalc which is:--
var cURL = 'http://x.y.com:8012/sap/bc/srt/rfc/sap/ZMATERIAL_DESCRIPTION?sap-client=800&wsdl=1.1';
var service = SOAP.connect(cURL);
xfa.connectionSet.DataConnection2.execute(0);
But this also not worked .
So, I think there can be a little issue may be , I am forgetting to click some special atrributes in form .
Please help me and let me know what can be probable reasons that webservice is not triggering
Thanks a lot ,

Solved my self, converted PDF into image and used that pdf as a static image in Adobe Interactive Form.

E-mail adobe interactive form without showing it..

Hi experts!
I am trying to create a WD apllication in which when the user presses a button an adobe interactive form will be called and e-mail, without showing the actual form.
From what i saw in the corresponding tutorial, in order to attach the file to the e-mail, the file must first exist in pdf format.
But, during runtime all i have is the pdfsource.
So, the point is: how can i create the actual pdf from the pdf Source without showing it????
Thanx in advance!!!!

Hi,
actually I would not recommend that. That's something which has to be programmed completely new and does not exist at the moment. If you want to have it outside in the internet for externals you will force candidates to use Adobe Acrobat reader in a certain version and might get browser problems. So technical support might become an issue.
So the only opportunities you have without creating something new, is using Web Dynpro standard or a third party tool based on flash.
Best regards

Webdynpro + Adobe Interactive Form + Web Service

Hello Experts,
Can you please provide me the useful solutions for the below mentioned issues.
I created a Webdynpro with one view .Kept the adobe interactive form on the view by binding the structure with all my fields to the data source. And one webservice is linked to this form by keeping one submit button on the form. Iam sending the entire data filled on the form to the webservice as importing structure which is binded to the DATA SOURCE of the View in the Webdynpro. Now my questions are,
1.Among these fields,i have a list box (can select multiple values from the list). Iam pasing the values to this list box from the Webdynpro with out changing the TYPE of field in the structure. But all the selected values of list box should be available in the web service. how is it possile?. The importing structure contains the TYPE of that field as a data element and not a TABLE TYPE.
2. How to make the borders of the field in red color in run time. (like it comes for mandatory fields initially).
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ram.

Hi,
But now, my doubt is "How to know the list of values selected in the list box to concatenate using scripting in th Adobe form it self? "
For list box which is multiselect, when you say this.rawValue you get a arraylist, i believe separated by "\n" which mean newline on the form and separated by # when it reaches to SAP.
And also, regarding border color. The suggested logic is not changing the color of the border of the field. Instead it is giving additional border in specified color. But, Is it not possible to change the actual border color instead of adding additional borders with other color
You feel like aditional border because the field is an input type which has emboss effect to look, you can change the appearance of the file from palletes/windos>object>field-->appearance dropdown, just say it to none and alter the type field in Value tab from user entered optional to readonly you will see the difference.
Let me know if this suffice you.
Cheers,
Sai

Adobe Interactive Form / Web Service - Connection question

Hi
We have CRM 2007 and want to use Adobe Interactive forms for our sales managers to upload customer information when they're out in the field. Before they leave all information about the customer will be downloaded to an Adobe Interactive Form. The client sees the customer and then enters the information required to e.g. create a sales order. He has an Internet connection but is not neccessarily logged into CRM 2007. He is a registered user in CRM 2007.
My question is: if we create the web services to send and receive data to the CRM 2007 system, does the sales manager have to be online and signed into the CRM system to upload the Adobe Interactive Forms back to the server, or does the web service handle this?
Kind regards
Declan

Hello Declan,
You can send the information captured in an SAP Interactive Form by Adobe to your CRM system in two ways based on the way in which your form is designed -
1] By making a direct web service call : A typical use case is that the user fills out all the necessary fields in the form and simply clicks a submit button; on clicking, the particular web service is called and the input data is transferred to SAP CRM. It should be noted that the web service authorizations should be in place to enable this kind of usage.
2] By utilizing SAP CRM via Email scenario : A typical use case here would be that the user fills out all the necessary fields in the form and simply clicks a submit via email button; on clicking, an email is composed with all the form input infomration added as an attachment. The user can then send this email to the SAP CRM system. It should be noted that SAP CRM via Email application should be setup on the SAP CRM system and the particular SAP CRM via Email service & web service should have proper authorizations.
An interesting point to note here is that while scenario 1] would require the user to have just internet access for this to work, scenario 2] could work in a fashion such that if the user isn't having internet access, he/she could still fill out the forms thereby creating emails which would then reside in the outbox of the user's email client. Once the user is having internet acces, the email client would send these emails automatically, thereby achieving a different flavour of "offline functionality".
Hope this info helps!
Best regards,
Sandeep.
